Roman Bridge
Römerbrücke
Germany's oldest bridge still in use. Its basalt piers, built in the 2nd century AD, still carry traffic across the Moselle.
The piers of the Roman Bridge are built from massive basalt blocks and date to around AD 144 to 152. The arches of the bridge deck were rebuilt in the 17th and 18th centuries, and today it is one of the city's main roads. From the bridge you can see the Moselle and the vineyard slopes on the opposite bank. The riverside path is good for cycling and walking, and there is a summer boat landing. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and free to visit. It is about a 15-minute walk from the Old Town and can be combined with a visit to the Barbara Baths. A riverside path on the opposite bank offers the best full view of the bridge.
